Effects of acidic depositions on living organisms

The effects of acidic depositions and sulphur and nitrogen gaseous concentrations on living organisms are mostly of a chronic nature. Effects occur at the individual, population and ecosystem level and affect both structural and functional attributes. Knowledge of the relationship between dose and effect (response) enables critical loads of depositions and critical levels of concentrations to be set. These are able to form the basis for setting differential target depositions (or loads) or target concentrations that can be used in evolving deposition abatement strategies.

Fluidized catalytic cracking (FCC) units are used in refineries to convert low value heavy oils into more valuable lighter compounds. Cracking units are sources of emissions of pollutants (e.g. NOx) and must comply with concentration permits set by local or federal authorithies. Modern technologies are applied to reduce the content of pollutants and to monitor certain gas compounds (here: NH3) in the exhaust gas.The LDS 6 in-situ laser gas analyzer offers the best possible capabilities for this application. It is...

Background
For decades, Advanced Air Technologies, Inc. has been the leader in air scrubber technology for abatement of Ethylene Oxide (EtO) emissions. In fact, AAT, Inc. was founded in 1987 on a unique dry scrubbing, chemi-sorption process for EtO. The result is a series of fixed bed “Safe-Cell II” dry scrubbers, consisting of the DR-490, DR-50, and DR-MAC-150. The DR-490 is the staple for commercial scale aeration exhaust, while the DR-50 is used on exhaust from small hospital sterilizers....

OverviewA specialty ceramic material manufacturer in the United States operates several custom-built furnaces in their manufacturing process. Sometimes referred to as kilns, these high-temperature process devices are generally a major source of air pollutants and require an abatement technology to meet environmental regulations with the state or federal agencies. As is the case with many industrial manufacturing operations, emissions are best destroyed through the use of oxidation technologies. Thermal and...

COVERING YOUR TAIL GASThe discovery of new shale formations throughout the world and the development of new drilling technologies have increased natural gas production and prompted government agencies to instigate tighter air-pollutioncontrol regulations on processing operations. Unfortunately, meeting environmental regulations is not a profit-generating endeavor. Simply put, the time and money spent on protecting air, water and land does not help midstream companies produce more natural gas to ensure the...

The installation of Bionomic Industries Inc.`s (Mahwah, NJ) innovative ScrubPac.BIONOxSOLVER" abatement system is enabling American Superconductor Corporation to treat the nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions from a calcination process at its new, high temperature superconductor manufacturing facility (Devens, MA), in a cost-effective, environmentally responsible way.Bionomic Industries` solution uses a unique catalyst oxidation process to convert the nitric oxide to nitrogen dioxide, which is then removed with a wet...
